The School of Rock Berkeley has taken my 10 year old drumming daughter’s skills to a level that seemed impossible a couple of months ago. Through the private lessons, she has been exposed to different genres of music and techniques that took her from playing basic rhythms to actual syncopation complete with fills and tempo changes. And now that she is playing with the performance band she gets to play alongside some uber-talented kids which has pushed her to be better. And to top it off, the school is located in a super cute neighborhood and the school itself is awesomely decorated inside and always kept clean and sanitized. The staff and teachers are all welcoming. Couldnt ask for more from the perspective of a parent hoping that their kid finds a lifelong love of music.
My son loves the little rookies classes.
My 4 year old son takes drum lessons here from the nicest most patient teacher, Jordan. Highly recommend!

My daughters adore coming to the School of Rock. I considered other places for drums and vocals lessons but School of Rock fosters a “get on stage and play with others” spirit which is something they were looking to do more than the traditional end of year recital. Weekly private lessons combined with weekend stage practice is a huge hit and never any complaints about going. The instructors seem quite patient in working with the kids.
My son LOVES Jimmy and the drum kit instructions and music recommendations he receives from Jimmy. My son has not been this enthusiastic about drumming in a few years — it is wonderful to see!
